★★★★☆

Good Points
Old skool looks, can be modified to the teeth, can pick one up quite cheap and easy to get hold of cheap spares.

Bad Points
Missing the extra digit on the clocks, so check old MOTs and services for correct mileage. Some young lad will have probably ragged it at some point. Check for rust in engine bay and boot prone to rot.

General Comments
I bought an XR3i 1.6 G reg in white. Had been sat in a garage for 4 years, hardly driven for two before being garaged only 61000 miles. The car was advertised as non starter. It had no MOT or tax, I paid £250 for it plus a pack of lager for my mate who towed me back to his garage. New set of spark plugs and some fresh juice and we were off, the engine starts and all looks good. Gave the car a small service and the MOT passed with flying colours. Just need to tidy body work up, give it a bit of TLC and you can grab a hell of a car for next to nothing.
